Centro de Documentacion de Fundación MAPFRE - Electromyographical study on surgeons in urology. I : influence of the operating technique on muscular strain

Notes: Sumario: An electromyographical field study was performed in the operating theatre on four surgeons during 15 urological operations. In the course of the operations two endoscopic techniques were applied alternately: (1) direct endoscopy, and (2) monitor endoscopy. The electromyographical findings reveal that the activity of the shoulder musculature required for the maintenance of the posture and the performance of the operation is significantly lower in monitor endoscopy than in direct endoscopyRelated records: En: Ergonomics. - London and Washington. - Vol. 39, nº 2, February 1996 ; p. 285-297Materia / lugar / evento: Ergonomía Lesiones musculares Condiciones de trabajo Electromiografía Urología Médicos Cirujanos Postura Otros autores: Sökeland, Jürgen
